Gulf Professional Publishing, 2005 M11 28 - 312 pages
International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology - both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. Articles in this volume address cellulose metabolism in plants; survivin: a protein with dual roles in mitosis and apoptosis; hypothalamic tanycytes: a key component of brain-endocrine interaction; short retroposons (SINEs) in eukaryotic genomes; plant genome analysis: the state of the art.

About the author (2005)

Kwang Jeon received his Ph.D. in cell physiology at King's College, University of London, UK, in 1964 and taught at SUNY Buffalo and University of Tennessee. His research was concerned with the biogenesis and function of cell components in two major areas: Integration of intracellular symbionts into host cells leading to the acquisition of new cell components and cell variation; Membrane-protein recycling during endo- and exocytosis.
